The bar chart compares how career choices varied across seven job groups among adults in a nation in 2003 and 2013.
Overall, four out of six jobs witnessed an upward trend in the proportion of people working in those fields throughout the period, except for medical and business. Despite experiencing a drop, business was still the most common major that people pursued.
After ten years, education training, hotel industry, and building gained popularity while manpower in medical declined noticeably. Specifically, there were just under 10% of employees working in the education training field in 2003, which subsequently rose to nearly 19% after ten years. Similarly, about 5% and 11% of people respectively went into the hotel industry and building before increasing significantly in 2013. Medical related jobs were the opposite when the proportion of workers started at more than 20%, then plummeting to just over 10% ten years later.
The percentage of self-employed and unemployed workers recorded a remarkable climb, whereas less people were interested in business after a ten-year period. In detail, 35% of employees selected business as their career in 2013, after this figure had recorded 45% of employees in 2003. A similar pattern showed in the figure for self-employed individuals and ones with no job, both registering at about 15%, followed by more than 30% in 2013.
